About

WHERE WE CAME FROM
We didn’t start out to reinvent the recruitment industry but rather refine it and add value by taking a consultative approach to executive search. We started with the aim of focusing entirely on the customer, steering away from cold recruitment strategies so we could concentrate on our passion – connecting real people.
Situated in a rural setting surrounded by beautiful countryside, we wanted to define a strong team culture by providing the best possible working environment for our employees. Despite the close-knit team we’ve created here, our business spans far and wide, both nationally and internationally.
WHO WE ARE
Our people have always been an integral part of the ever-growing Collingwood family and we surround ourselves with experienced, dynamic professionals. Our ethos is present in everything we do, from finding you the perfect candidate to investing in our own staff. We don’t just sell our values, we practice what we preach - putting all who work here at the heart of everything we do.

I have purposefully abstained from commenting on governments recent housing white paper. Much has been reported and shared on the subject. I have, however, keenly read about the fallout.

Offsite construction has had some solid publicity through the reports content. In part this has been achieved through local authorities releasing public land to build affordable housing for first time buyers.

A bigger battle for offsite technology manufacturers is lenders continued skepticism. Such technologies are largely new and so lenders are nervous to whether buildings produced in this manner will withstand 25 plus years of the elements.

For many the whitepaper outlined clearly how we as a nation are going to deliver 250,000 homes per year for the next three years. There are question marks left to how the government is going to fund this increase (if at all) and what plans Whitehall has for the 35,000 people on the housing waiting list.

The Government’s housing white paper contained three ‘glaring omissions’ including no mention of the one million homes target, the Liberal Democrat’s say.
Responding to the white paper, a Lib Dem spokesperson pointed out communities secretary Sajid Javid did not mention the Government’s ambition to build one million homes by 2020.
